    1.
    Tá buadhart go mór ar m’aigne
    ‘S Tá muinntir suaite tréith
    Mar tá an Bearla a labhairt go fairsing.
    In ár tír ó taobh go taobh
    Sé cloisim ag an Marghadh
    Ag díol ‘s ag ceannach ‘s ag agallamh
    I dtig an tabhairne ag racaracht
    Is i dtig na cúirte ar pledhé

    Siad lucht an Bhearla gairbh
    Na fialtaidh gan truaghbhéil.
    Dfág sinne deorach dealbh
    Gan racmuis gan meidhreas
    Dar leónadh is dár leagadh
    Sár mbualadh is dhár mbascadh
    Is dár ndíbirt ó ár mbailtibh
    Thar sáile i bhfad i gcéin.

    Nárbh é an Bhearla do labhair Crambhaill
    An Claire fuilteach claon
    Nuair mairbh na sagairt
    Agus loisg sé na séipéil
    An mháthair grádhmahr cneasta
    Gus an mhaighdhean bínn gan pheaca
    Do ghoin sé iad gan taise
    Is leagh ‘se le piléar.
